When the decision was made, people associated carbon copy with external geometry (which also "imports" an edge) and that is why it is next to it. In fact, for many, it came as an alternative to fight the toponaming issue. One could say they are semantically attached. Additionally, like the...

@abdullah can you please post a list of examples how to make these messages ? I find it hard to find examples. For example I'm now trying to print such a message from Assembly/App and can't find how to because sketcher examples provide the VP as argument. I have a feeling this is going to be a 'App...

The conflict constraint identification of geometric constraint solver is not always accurate. Yes. Your assessment is accurate. Currently, the constraint identification is an heuristic called "popularity contest", and which has coded some rules which generally provide a reasonable result....

It works for me.

You have to click on M to get to lock constraint of point. Will the user be able to change the hotkey M if they wish? Not at this time. There are a couple of thinks I would like to improve with regard to sketcher shortcuts and magic keys to make them configurable. I think it would also be good to s...

Indeed a selection of 2+ points does not offer lock as a possible mode. it could be added if there's a need for it. Though I think it may be overkill and lead to over-use of dimensional constraints perhaps. Please. This is something I really use. I do not mind if you want to add it to the current D...

paddle I have just merged an improved version of the add functions for the ShapeGeometry vector, which return regular pointers already cast-ed to the expected type. This should help you when writing DSHs. I have left comments in various DSH PRs. Please go through them. Fixing raised topics for the ...

Initially when you selected a point, a lock constraint was triggered. But some people asked to change the default after. So now lock is not the first mode but the second mode. You have to click on M to get to lock constraint of point. I'm not sure it was the best move to change the default. I don't...

note the word ToolWidget is for translation on Crowdin https://crowdin.com/translate/freecad/569/en-fr#6627734 and should not. I have just checked. It is in exception messages, such as: L'index des paramètres du ToolWidget est en dehors de la plage SketcherToolDefaultWidget.cpp- THROWM(Base::IndexE...

I think tackling this makes sense. But I am not sure consultation is most effective before merging the tools. Anyway. I would be against moving "rendering order" elsewhere, as I plan to remove it. In general, I am not sure I like the idea of moving tools into settings of element widget. It...
